Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it’s stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.
I don’t think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it’s value to come back and buy it on the cheap.
This would he concerning if I wasn’t convince that Walz would sit him down and correct him like a disappointed father.
If anyone could make a politician seem like a child to their face it’d be him, and especially if that politician is Vance.
Humans have advanced far but hardly changed.
Hopefully the loopholes of executive power that enabled that crackpot plan will be closed up by then…
Yeah I know, a lot to ask for.
It was, infact, not all good there.
From a game theory perspective, a trumper discouraged to vote is worth 1 vote, a flipped Republican vote is worth 2 votes.
So the appeal to the right makes sense if it works, because every vote from that camp is also a negative vote from Trump.
I have the hope that she’ll end up being more progressive after votes are counted.
Partially because she has Walz which is a good sign, but mostly I’m hoping for hopes sake. 🤞
This is dumb, I deeply love it.
Good lord the discourse here is about as well as the man or bear discussions.
Something I notice is how everytime someone makes these kinds of criticisms, the counterarguments turn into a pit of semantics and extropolations. As if the original post was a massive research thesis rather than just women venting frustration over the entitlement and danger they’re subjected to daily.
You gotta look past the specific wording to see the overarching societal themes, emotions, and issues. It’s like those magic eye pictures.
When you want to be like Putin so badly you adopt his leadership style:
While watching the debate it was funny watching Trump say she’ll end fracking like that’s a bad thing (though even with green energy, I do admit we’d still need it for plastic).
I joked “next he’ll attack her by saying she’ll drive up green energy” then he literally did. Said she’d return to windmills and dare to use desert land for solar panels, oh the humanity xD.
Thing is Trump made his most ridiculous statements highly memeable.
“They’re eating the dogs!” is gonna live on like “They’re turning the fricken frogs gay!”
That might draw enough of the disinterested crowd to figure out what happened that night.
Could just say “I’m nobody”, then when they realize just say “I wasn’t answering your question or giving you my name, I’m just nobody”.
God I want someone this competent in office so badly. I’m tired of bad politicians conning the system and “good” politicians just running things on autopilot. I want a leader that understands their government so badly.
This echoes what I’ve been feeling about Kamala’s campaign too. I feel she’ll be great at the job of presidency, but may have to rely on Walz to grease the wheels of congress to actually pass things.
Ah I understand, sorry for being blunt but there’s a lot of people acting in bad faith when they question victim’s actions in abusive situations.
Rule of thumb is once abuse is involved, don’t assume people will react rationally, you may accidentally say something insensitive.
A father-daughter dynamic means he had full control over her formative years and had full ability to groom her.
I highly doubt he was a normal parent for 18 years then suddenly acted creepy and she was just ok with it.
Without speaking to her as a person, it’s certain that if something’s happening it’s the result of grooming, therefore making her an SA victim.
We can recognize that as the tragedy it is and still think she’s a bad person for other reasons, these aren’t mutually exclusive.
This is the Overton Window, the window of acceptable topics for public discourse, and it’s unrelated to testosterone (I know, surprising /s).
A misaligned Overton Window (like a slow response to an impending disaster) is hard to counteract because the experts dealing with the topic may lose their credibility by trying to push against the window.
But I have heard the theory that the evolutionary reason for autism may be to counteract this effect. A small amount of genuine vocal concern could encourage others to speak out and break the tension surrounding the topic.
This vocal concern is not however gonna come from the evershifting lies of the X and 4chan echo chambers.
Everyday I would wake up with severely sore arms, like they were clenched somehow.
Blood test said Vitamin D deficiency, but the supplements didn’t do anything noticeable. But I was on the border of anemia so they told me to try iron supplements too.
Gone overnight. I’m so used to problems being an exhausting road to recovery that this one took me by surprise.
The people can, but companies still need some kind of income to exist. The owners/ceos will just golden parachute away from the corpse
In order to tangibly pay employees/rent/servers a company needs either profits, subsidies, or a ponzi scheme inflated stocks.
If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.
He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn’t make him a good puppet master.
